SCX1-C
STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE
OVERVIEW:
Designed, machined, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the SCX1-C is
a professional studio cardioid condenser microphone designed for a wide variety
recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. Known for its sensitivity, pin-
point accuracy, low profile, and consistency, the SCX1-C is also available with
hypercardioid (model SCX1-HC) or omnidirectional (model SCX1-O) capsules.
With a smooth uniform frequency response from 40 Hz - 20 kHz, the SCX1-C
is very consistent when responding to on and off-axis signals, and exhibiting
excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effect. The SCX1-C is
characterized with a wide cardioid polar pattern; this, coupled with the high output
and sensitivity of the microphone, makes the SCX1-C an ideal choice for miking
overhead, room ambience, orchestral sections, stringed instruments, piano, vibes,
and sound effects.
Other features include a 21 mm gold vapor capsule miniaturized electronics,
and an extremely small footprint. The SCX1-C will handle sound pressure levels
of 130 dB and will provide up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection. In addition
to acoustical instruments, the SCX1-C is an excellent choice for group vocals,
speech, or foley work.
The SCX1, which is manufactured to exacting standards and tight tolerances,
features a precision machined brass body, interchangeable capsules, black e-coat
finish, laser etched model and serial number, Switchcraft ® XLR connector, and
includes a heavy duty nylon clip.
